Members TIKILOCKEDOUT Posted May 23, 2006 Members Share Posted May 23, 2006 Absolutely - mic it up and go through the PA - use the 30 as your onstage monitor and your set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, about 8 years back, my covers band supported the Blues Brothers Uk at a private function, 4000 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got an Ally Pally obsession due to the 60's 24 hour Technicolor Dream gig which had Syd Barret and Bolan and just about anybody who was anybody play til dawn. What's the venue like these days?

What's the venue like these days? I'm a sucker for that period too, although I was only 6 in 1968 I have some sort of deja vue.We were in the main hall, it has a huge reception hall as well, and played the main stage, 2 sets between the meal ( it was a coporate party ). We were given a large changing room, with showers etc, in an outbuilding about 200 yards away from the hall and had to walk across a car park. The sound was pretty good, although I can only vouch for the on stage monitoring but I do have a video of it somewhere and it's ok.It is a big big room.There is an icerink behind Ally Pally these days. But as I said, it was 8 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean you've got this far without knowing about foldback? As long as you're nice to the sound guy and choose just the few things you really need to hear for your monitor mix (maybe lead vocal, your guitar and vocal, bass drum, snare and hi-hat), you'll be fine. The PA does the work on most gigs, not your amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members walk_through_wa Posted May 23, 2006 Members Share Posted May 23, 2006 what's your band name... hell, if you're a support act i might even be at the gig i'm down that way a fair bit:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members whowasthursday Posted May 23, 2006 Members Share Posted May 23, 2006 I play my 15-watt Blues Junior with a (more than) full band in a 4,000 seat venue once or twice a week during the school year. Mic it up and you're good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fernmeister Posted May 23, 2006 Members Share Posted May 23, 2006 Originally posted by english_bob You mean you've got this far without knowing about foldback? that's what i thought.as others have said+, you will be fine. the better and bigger the gig the less onstage volume you need.
